Integrated Whole Body Physiotherapist Milsons Point
We assess your whole body with any injury to find the “driver” or cause, for your problem. Pain does not always occur where the problem is.
If you have had pain on and off for longer than a few months, even if it goes away at times, and it has not stayed away with treatment, it is likely there is another cause that hasn’t been identified yet. We will help you identify the cause of your pain and direct your treatment appropriately.
Assessment includes assessing your musculoskeletal and nervous system, lifestyle/habits, and any previous injuries you have had. All contribute to persistent or recurring pain.
Do you have ongoing or recurring pain?
The integrative systems model (ISM) approach looks at your whole body from head to toe. We look at your alignment, quality of movement in the painful task, muscular balance, the mobility of your nervous system (it needs to slide and glide through your body), lifestyle and more…all the systems that affect your body and pain.
We educate you on the cause of your pain and therefore, how to manage and treat your pain.
- Treatment begins with a comprehensive assessment.
- We take into account your past history, any injuries, illness, treatment, medications, surgeries etc
- Examine lifestyle and its demands on your body.
- Discuss beliefs that may be influencing how you move your body and therefore pain.
What causes your pain? Correcting the cause will help take your pain away. Treating your symptoms may only give you temporary relief. We are trained to look at multiple body systems to assess the whole of you.
Treatment includes:
1. Release
of tight muscles preventing you from moving normally. We use myofascial release techniques, gentle touch with awareness, dry needling, stretching, and joint mobilisation. We teach you how to release these areas yourself so you can take control.
2. Align
you – show you the correct posture for your body type (we are all different) and educate you on how to do it yourself. We teach you how to feel the positioning of your body.
3. Connect
deep stabilising muscles for fostering efficient and pain-free movement. This includes using your core muscles to protect your joints, particularly the spine.
4. Move
We look at movement patterns in your body, teach you how to feel them and may suggest changes to help you move more efficiently and reduce the causes of pain.
Exercises
are focused on your needs and your lifestyle. You are given a digital program so you can do the exercises at home easily.
Movement and Exercises are added in with increasing complexity until you can return to your normal activities.
The whole body Integrated Systems Approach includes a comprehensive assessment, treatment using multiple modalities, education, and a home exercise program.
